Mr. Poznanovich...

I believe that the memory of a loved one who has passed away sometimes seems even more compelling and powerful than the love of a living person. Your song, "Love You More", validates that belief (for me, at least). It's a testimonial to the fact that love is the best proof of immortality that us humans have on this Earth. If love can survive death, then maybe death itself isn't final. Your song raises this thought to an ascendant position in our lives that's as bright as a star.

Your sensitivity as revealed through your tender music and touching lyrics is actually humbling. It's a gift, in a manner of speaking, to anyone and everyone who ever "lost" someone.

Ruminating on it,

LOREN (a.k.a. "bluage")

Bob,

Great song.

Very commercial, in a good way, excellent production and very pro. Powerful and touching. Love the piano.

I would love to see the lyrics.

Fantastic job. Happy New Year.

Per requests-- following are the lyrics

Copyright

LOVE YOU MORE

(Verse)
I always dreamed I always knew
That I would meet a man like you
When the stars aligned just right

My wish came true one sweet day
When your green eyes looked my way
You were that missing piece of the puzzle in my life

Like in my dream, we said “I do”
The very next thing we knew
Two lovely babies have made us a family

(Pre-chorus)
But joy came to an end too soon
The day i got the news that tore my heart in two

(Chorus)
Even though you went away
And we miss you every day
We had to find the strength
To carry on
Even though you’re no longer here
In our hearts you’re always near
And we love you more, not less
Since you’ve been gone

(Verse)
You should see the kids right now
They both act just like you somehow
You’d be so proud of all that they have done

(Pre-chorus)
And every once in awhile
I catch them smile the way you used to smile


(Chorus)
Even though you went away
And we miss you every day
We had to find the strength
To carry on
Even though you’re no longer here
In our hearts you’re always near
And we love you more, not less
Since you’ve been gone


(Bridge — Piano Solo— ad lib vocals)
More not less

Chorus)
Even though you went away
And we miss you every day
We had to find the strength
To carry on
Even though you’re no longer here
In our hearts you’re always near
And we love you more, not less
Since you’ve been gone

(Ending)

We love you more since
you’ve been gone

Bob,

This sounds absolutely wonderful.

I found that listening was a very emotional musical journey and you've captured all the feelings of longing, tenderness and reflection that weave their way through such a journey. That you managed to accomplish this with an uplifting sound and tempo really made me think. You've taken what could easily have been maudlin and have transformed the story into one of the acceptance of the concept: 'This is how life works. Sadness is constantly juxtaposed with gladness and the world we make for ourselves is defined by how we accommodate joy and despair.' This is wonderful song creating!

Regards,
Noel

Wowsers!

Excellent, all around. As David said, a very commercial sound, in the best way.

One of the many things that sets this apart is the writing. The language is conversational, and the flow and phrasing feels natural. That's no small feat.

Especially impressive considering you're stuck using a Mac. wink

Another late welcome to the forum!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
